The 15th Annual Paving the Way Fundraiser honored women in leadership, inspired those who are just starting their journey, and highlighted the work that has been and can continue to be done to pave the way for successful female business leaders.

Following a delicious dinner and the silent auction portion of the evening, we heard a keynote address from UWiB’s Woman of the Year, Mahnaz Javid. Mahnaz is the President and CEO of Mona Foundation, a global non-profit focused on providing education for young women all around the world.

With the money raised at this event, we contributed directly to our endowment, which awards one deserving member an $9,000 scholarship (an increase from our previous years' $8000!) to assist them with educational expenses and further enhance their leadership skills. Our goal is to one day fully fund a deserving member’s annual tuition, of which your support can help us reach.
